Project Summary/Abstract The biomedical and behaviorally-related sciences are faced with workforce challenges that must be considered a priority if we are to meet the needs of the nation and drive health innovation. These challenges include lack of diversity in the workforce, but more importantly, lack of access of Underrepresented Minorities (URM) to career development programs that can allow them to enter the workforce. These challenges can be overcome, at least in part, by establishing programs to disseminate vanguard scientific information, create diverse and inclusive networks, and by establishing a system that promotes originality and allows creativity. The Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) is an inclusive, multi- disciplinary and multicultural organization with a 45+ year history of interventions toward enhancing URM participation in biomedical and behaviorally-related STEM (sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. As the largest minority serving scientific organization in the country, SACNAS aims to serve, educate, promote, and prepare the next generation of successful URMs, particularly Hispanics and Native Americans, to integrate them into the workforce and promote their advancement. The National Diversity in STEM Conference has a long history of delivering high-quality programming. It provides a framework for the presentation of innovative and original research, mentoring opportunities, trans-disciplinary panels, and professional development workshops to URMs. Furthermore, the Conference will provide opportunities for discussions on how we can best integrate and diversify biomedical and behavioral research, paying particular attention on how to be inclusive of those most underserved and underrepresented. The three aims of this proposal are to: 1) Support student participation at the Conference, 2) Support participation at the Conference of keynote and session speakers conducting biomedical and behaviorally-related STEM research, and 3) Support the development, organization and implementation of the Conference Programming. The ultimate goal of the National Diversity in STEM Conference is to develop a well-prepared workforce, with a strong scientific identity and self-efficacy through presentation of their own research, multiple encounters with mentors and scientific speakers, role models, topic exerts, one-on-one mentoring settings, and purposeful professional development advise at all levels of a biomedical career.

项目总结/摘要 生物医学和行为相关科学面临着必须考虑的劳动力挑战 如果我们要满足国家的需求并推动卫生创新，这是一个优先事项。这些挑战包括缺乏 劳动力的多样性，但更重要的是，代表性不足的少数民族（URM）缺乏职业机会 发展计划，使他们能够进入劳动力市场。这些挑战至少可以克服 在某种程度上，通过建立传播前沿科学信息的计划， 网络，并通过建立一个系统，促进原创性和创造力。会人数 墨西哥裔/西班牙裔和美洲原住民在科学（SACNAS）的进步是一个包容性，多， 一个学科和多元文化的组织，有45年以上的干预历史，以加强URM 参与生物医学和行为相关的STEM（科学，技术，工程和数学） 领域的作为该国最大的少数民族服务科学组织，SACNAS旨在服务，教育， 促进和准备下一代成功的URM，特别是西班牙裔和美洲原住民， 使他们融入劳动力队伍，并促进他们的发展。全国STEM多样性会议 在提供高质量的节目方面有着悠久的历史。它提供了一个框架， 创新和原创性研究，指导机会，跨学科小组和专业 发展讲习班。此外，会议将提供机会，讨论 我们如何才能最好地整合和多样化生物医学和行为研究，特别注意如何 包括那些服务最不足和代表性最低的人。这项建议的三个目标是：1） 支持学生参加会议，2）支持参加主题演讲会议 和会议发言人进行生物医学和行为相关的STEM研究，以及3）支持 制定、组织和执行会议方案。的最终目标 全国STEM多样性会议旨在培养一支准备充分的劳动力队伍， 通过介绍自己的研究，与导师的多次接触， 科学演讲者、榜样、主题发挥者、一对一指导设置和有目的的专业人士 在生物医学职业的各个层面提供发展建议。
